A victim of Indian vengeance, in the present si niggle along the borders, gives the following account of his experince: I was in. the infantry. Custer had com mand of the troops. There was quite a force •of cavalry with us, but these, were about a mile in the rear when we first discover ed the reds. Some of the troops had been sent around so as to attack from the other side. The r«*is were encamped in a sort of vailey, and we were within eighty rods of them for half an hour before day-break.. Just in the gray of morning the firing com menced on both sides, and we had it all our own way for a few minutes; but at length they rallied, and we could hear Black Kettle shouting and ordering The vermin got into holes and behind rocks—anywhere they could find a place—and began to fight Lack with a will. We fired wherever we could see a top=knot, and shot squaws— there were lots of them—just as quick as Indians. When it was fully daylight, we all gave a big yell and charged right down into their camp. • The lodges were all standing yet and lots of Indians in them. As we ran through the alleys, a big red jumped out at me from behind a tent, and before I could shorten up enough to mn him through with my bayonet, a squaw grabbed me around the legs and twisted me down. The catnp was full of men fighting, and every bod j seemed yelling-as loud as he could* When I fell, I went over hacka ward, dropping niy gnu and I had just got part, way up again, the squaw yanking me by the h.tir, when the Indian clubbed my gun and struck me across, the neck. The blow stunned me} the sqmvw kept screeching and pulling my hair out by handfuls.* I heardVsome of our boys shoot* mg around close by, and the squaw started and ran, one of the buys killing her not three rods off. The Indian stepped one’ foot on my chest, and with his hajid gallic ert’d up the hair near the ci’oWu ‘of my head. He wasn’t very tender about it, but jerked rny head this way and that, like Satan. My eyes Were partially open, and I,could see the beadswork and trimming 1 on his loggings. Suddenly I felt the aw lullest biting, cutting fla.-sh, go around my head, and then it seemed* to me just as if my whole head had been jerked clean off. 1 never felt such pain in all niy life; it was like pulling your brains right out. I didn’t know any more fuf two or three days, and w.hen I came to I had the sorest bead of any human being that ever lived. If the* boys killed the viper they didn't get back my scalp; perhaps It got lost in the snow. 1 was shipped down to Laramie after a bit. and all the nursing I got ain't made the hair grow out on this spot yet, The W t ay Henry S, Raymond OoulD Work A remarkable instance of Mr. Ray mond's working ability occured or. the oc casion of the death of Daniel Webster a statesman for whom he had the greatest acb miration.

' • BAINBRIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1869. A Fair Cuban Patriot. —One of the most successful of the fair intriguants who are now interesting the excitable and youthful part of our population in Cuban indepen dence, is a young lady who a few years ago created quite a sensation here as a belle i.ndeed, her debut was made at one of our fashionable watering places, and a Winter spent subsequently in New Orleans fitted •her for the ‘game of hearts,' * which she now so brilliantly, turns to account in behalf of the ‘Gem of the Antilles.’ A native Cuban she possessed the highest type of Spanish beauty. Tall, slender, and graceful*, Hating, ev«fn brilliant in conversation, she yet possesses the additional advantage of being undoubtedly, the most exquisitely and expensively dressed ladies in the city. One never sees her in a toilet to which the slightest objection could be * made. Her taste in the harmony of colors is faultless, while her rich braids of glossy hair, ar ranged to show its luxuriance and beauty, at the same time discloses, what ladies are ambitious of displaying, that-it is natural,, •and not the hahdiwot*k of the halt dresser. Wher. it is further stated that she is an heiress, with no prospective or present matrimonial entanglements, it is not sur» prising that the influence she exerts is at once controlling and valuable. Her par lors are every evening thronged with the elite of our young men, and one looking upon the brilliant beauty., animated in con versation, and the excitement incident, to such discussions, might well imagine that he saw before him a Madame Roland, from the inspiration of whose beauty and genius another Yerginaud would awse to give a statesman’s glory-to her native Isle. Nor can one help feeling’a sympathy for Cuba in such a presence. If such fair flowers are native there, no wonder it is called the lovlu-st land the sun shines on, — N. O. Picayune, A Prediction Verbified.— On the night before Vallandigham then Democratic candidate for Governor of OhiS, was sent through the lines of the army of the Cum berland, by order of General Burnside—it Was in midsummer of 1863, i»qw six years ago—he was visited at the quarters as signed him in Murfreesboro, Teum, by Gen, Wna. S. Rosencranz, then commanding the Department. Gen. R., forgetting his dig nity, as he occasionally did, entered into a long and, on his part, violent discussion on political subjects. During the conversa tion Vallandigham, claiming that, his posi* tion would be justified by the fut ure policy and events of the war, remarked to Rosen cranz that in five years the General would think as the exile then thought, and stand where he then stood. It seems that Val landigham was right as to brets, and very liearly correct as to time. He may not think precisely as Vallandigham thought, but as the candidate, of the Democracy of Ohio for the Governorship, Rosencranz certainly stands where Vallandigham stood.— JS. Y. Times. How Poor Boys -Reach th.o Top Round.— There are 17,919 names who pay an injcorne tax.on incomes,of SIOO,OOO or tfver. Most ol these solid gentlemen are self-made ,non, who have come up from the lowest round of the ladder, Mr. A T# Stewart; who leads the list, everybody knows is an Irish emi grant, who commenced life with a capital of less than 25ctsj indeed with few exceptions most of the parties in the list were .scarce as well off as Mr. Stewart Take Henry Keepj he boasts {hat ha graduated from the Poor Hotise of Jesse rson county. Jay Gotiid drove a herd <»f cattle from Delhi, Dele ware county, when a lad, for fifty cents a day in order to get money enough to reach the Hudson river. David Groesbeck, over thirty years ago, used to mend old shoes for His brother, who wasa*re«pectas ule shoemaker in Albany. Wo all know the history of James Gordon Bennett, Robert Tionuer, poor boys fijlJ of talent and industry. Ruins Hatch, when a youngster, had an ambition to hold the reins of a ped dler’s wagon. E. D, Morgan, commenced life with a ioart measure of molasses. It is scares years since Henry Clews was an *-4and boy in one of the banking houses d#.n town. The brothers Selig man started out in life with a pedule/s pack. David Dows in his younger days, retailed pork by the half pound and mo lasses by the gill. We might go on through the list, aqd slnw that nearly every one of these solid meri were architects of their own fortunes. Young men, who are strug gling for place and .position, "should res member that the individuals named had to battle for life just as hard as they are dop ing. Let them take heart aifrl never suy Honor and shame from no condition rise, Act well your part—there all the honor lies. A Lazy jiau . The lazy ’man ,says the ‘‘Fat contribu tor,” is almost always, gciod natured. He never flies into a passion. He might craw 1 into one, if that wore possible, but the* idea of his flying into anything is preposterous.* Who ever heard of a iazy man breaks ing into a bank, where a crowbar.-had "to be us'ed, or drilling into a safe? Nobody. Not that he might not convert his neigh-' bor’a*goods-contained therein, hut the hors mr of handling a crowbar and drills would always deter him from actually committing burglary. He never runs away with his neighbot’s wife, simply on account of.the horror-he has of running. If he is. ever known to run, it is to run to seed. He rarely Ties about his neighbor, for it would We too much exertion; but he can li.e at a bar-room all day. He is inestimable service to ,a billiard saloon, keeping the chair warm and watch ing the game, for few would care to play where there are no spectators The fact that he does this without pay, day in and day out, shows the unfitness of his nature. What an industrious man, who considers tifs time worth something, would want pay for, the lazy man generally does for noth ing, growing a- freedom from mercenary motives that should g.o far to his cred't.. The lazy man never gets up revolutions, insurrections, or other popular excitement, and don’t make a nuisance of himself by tramping around the country making in cendiary speeches to prompt public djs> content. In his own. neighborhood he is never a busybody in other people’s affairs, for the very idea of being a busybody at any thing would drive him out of his head- By the way, jf he ever got out of his head, you would have to drive him out, for he wouldn’t have energy enough to go out of his own accord. No lazy man ever run mad, If he went crazy, it was because lie couldn’t go any where else without walking. Lazy men don’t disturb t-hc quiet of peaceful neighborhoods by putting up fac tories, furnaces and pther abominations. Sugar. —lt is said that there are raised in the world 2,800,000 tons of sugar. Os this the South raised ojj ly’ 100,000 tons, while the United States consumes 500,000, tons or five time‘as much as it makes. It also increases its consumption yearly-*6O OGO tons. Cuba produces about one-third«of the su gai; made, or 900.000 tons? Her supply is now cut off, and her produce’stopped. • Unless the United States raises to a heav ier extent, sugar must go up, and also sy* rup. Hence, the necessity of turning attention to this matter; Sorghum can be raised everywhere in the South, Its comparative strength* as shown by actual analysts, in contrast with West India and Louisiana sugar is 86 per cent to cents. This is certainly encouraging, and should stimulate our people to sorghum eultivas tioti Nf.gßo Gratitude and Friendship. —The following story, related by a Virginia pa per. should cover a thousand of poor Sam bo’s short comingsj In Richmond is a negro whoj eighteen years ago, bought his freedom of his mas ter, and working* hard, early and late, soon was able to buy his wife. He has been prospering since, and he now owns the (in es.l livery stable and hack stand in the State, and is said to be worth sso,oo(f‘. His old master, when Lee evacuated Rich mondj in April, 18G5, was worth a half a million dollars. Thousands upon thousands were destroyed by fire; money went this way.and that, and not long after he came hack to Richmond broken in spirit, ruined in property, and tired of his troublesome Iffc*. His old slave found him, took him to his house; gave him the best medical skill vliat money could buy and every luxury. Pres.* ently the old man died, peacefully and happv. His -funeral was ft large and ex pensive one; and lie was borne to a lot in the cemetery paid for by his old slave, who also paid for the funeral outlay. Over him was raised a handsome monus ment, paid for with file negro’s money. The widow of the deceased slave owner lives in a house presented by the negro, win* al so supplies her with every comfort. A Beautiful Thing. —What is it, little girls? SJiall we tell you? h is a neat, sweet, modest, virtuous little gui f olie who is cheerful as a lark, pure as a rose, charming as the lily, livf.-ly as a squirrel, .skippingly obedient, quick as h flash to do just right.

Ihe lady of the house (she being present, aloiie and rightly judging his errand) when she saw him approaching, seized the Bible, and as he entered was to all intents busily engaged in perusing the volume. He no ticed, however, that she held the letters reversed, or in other words up side down. After the usual courtesies the miuister inquired what she was reading* • ‘Oli. 'bout the old prophets,’ was the evi dently satisfactory reply. •It is very edifying to read the sufferings of Christ,’ said the minister. ‘And so that good man is dead is he?’ asked the matron, evidently getting in terested. •Certainly he is.’ ‘Well, that is just the way. I've been at John a long time to get him to take the newspaper, but he won’t. Everybody in the worltf might die and we not hear- a word about it,’ said the woman in a rapid tone. • ‘Ah, woman, yon are in the dark,’ said the preacher with an elongated face. ‘Yes, I know we are.' I’ve been at John a long time to put a window in at the fur end ot the house, but he won’t do that either. ‘I perceive that you are weak in knowl edge*’ ‘I know that I am weak, and I gtiess if you had had the billions fever, and been taking sasifrax and contract pills as long as l have, you’d be weak too,’ replied the woman in r*»hor anttmgry tone of voice, and half an octave usual. •k _.- T A Slight Mistake.— There is a magis trate in a sown in Indiana named Helser* A clergyman in the same place was called upon by a young couple not long since, who wished him to join Uiena in the holy bonds of matrimony. He asked the bride gooom (a soldier, by the way,) for his marriage license. The man in blue re sponded that he had been engaged to the girl four years, and thought that would do. Clergyman thought not, and remarked as the speediest way to obtain a license: ‘You had better take your girl and go to Helser!’ ‘You go to h—II yourself !’ retorted the angry soldier. Seizing the bride by the arm, he dragged her from the house won dering what manner of a profane minister he had met with. Cure for Hog Cholera. —A writer iii the Monthly report of the Department of Agri culture gives the following report for the cure of hog cholera:—‘Sulphur, 1 pound; copperas, 2 pounds; madder, 2 pounds; black antimony; | pound; saltpetre,! pound; arsenic, J pound. This quantity is intend ed for one hundred hogs, in doses of one pint, night and mornings mixed in bran of slop of some kind that the hogs will likely to eat. It is well also to change hogs upon clean ground. A good preventive is to keep the pens clean of manure and all other tilth; and have them as dry as possible.' What tiie Southern States Would Have Cincinnati Enquirer says: For* ney who was at the “hub* Jubilee, “was so taken with the magnitude of the enterprise, that he unconsciously asked himself,'What would the Southern States of this Union be to-sdav, if with a\l the influence of soil and climate, they had been guided by men full of the energy and conscience of .the New England Puritans? They would have held the negros in slavery until they found it a losing institution; when they would have sold their slaves to some neighboring peo ple—then have betaken themselves to un wonted expression of indignation-against j the crimes of human servitude, and against those who participated in it, and then they would have made war upon those to whom they had sold themselves, and compelled the purchaser to lilberate them. And fiiraU ly, j*ould have put recent slaves over the recent masters, as political superiors. That is what the Southern Slates would have done had they been guided by men of en eigy and science of the New England Pu ritans.” Crops. —We regret to learn from sorpo of our best planters on the Oowijsee, that the crops are suffering very much for want of rain.. A large planter,informed us, yesterday that on one of his plantations no rain had fallen in four weeks; on another some miles apart, over three weeks bad elapsed since a crep had fallen.
